HORSE THAT FELL THROUGH THE STAGE AND OTHER TALES OF A TEXAS VETERINARIAN

by Mason L. Matthews

A veterinary career spanning nearly a half century of work with large animals is distilled in these entertaining vignettes. Dr. Matthews served as veterinarian for the San Antonio Zoo, was among the first to treat exotic animals as they began being stocked on Texas game ranches, helped fight an epidemic of foot and mouth disease in northern Mexico and made a number of extraordinary calls during his regular practice.
